- OTOpenTable DinerHouston •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWow I cannot say enough about my wonderful experience at Toups Meatery. The food was fantastic. We ordered the Meatery board to start and the cracklins were probably the best I’ve ever had. They give those meateries in Scott a run for their money! (And I think they’d beat ‘em!) basically everything on that Meatery board was great. Then we got the pork chop and it was absolutely massive, and delicious. We also sat across from the window from the kitchen and I got a front row view to how chef Toups handles his business and it was such a cool experience to be able to see him run the kitchen. I can’t wait to tell my friends and recommend them to come here!More infoToups MeateryPrice: Expensive• Cajun• Mid-City / City Park•4.7

- SSandraNew Orleans / Louisiana •14 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 8, 2025I’ve eaten at Porter & Luke’s several times for brunch and it has not disappointed! This time I had the onion rings which were probably the best onion rings I’ve ever had. I also had the special of the day- Catfish Sophie which was fried catfish with angel hair pasta with crawfish cream sauce. It was so amazing! Of course I always love to try specialty drinks and had the Carnival Martini which was yummy. And I tried the Mardi Gras doberge cake that was moist and delicious!More infoPorter & Luke'sPrice: Moderate• Creole / Cajun / Southern• Metairie•4.6
